This is a critical review of MAX-phase carbides and nitrides from an electronic-structure and
chemical bonding perspective. This large group of nanolaminated materials is of great …

Thin films based on transition-metal carbides exhibit many interesting physical and chemical
properties making them attractive for a variety of applications. The most widely used method …

In this paper, we report a new, low-cost, and facile solvothermal approach to synthesize
visible-light-active S-doped TiO2 (S-TiO2) by using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as both the S …

The crystal structure and chemical bonding of magnetron-sputtering deposited nickel
carbide Ni 1− x C x (0.05⩽ x⩽ 0.62) thin films have been investigated by high-resolution x …

We investigate the amorphous structure, chemical bonding, and electrical properties of
magnetron sputtered Fe 1− x C x (0.21⩽ x⩽ 0.72) thin films. X-ray, electron diffraction and …

We report the hydrothermal synthesis of graphene (GNP)–TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) hybrids
using COOH and NH2 functionalized GNP as a shape controller. Anatase was the only TiO2 …

Abstract Single‐crystalline {100} faceted TiC is of great significance in theory to a large
number of engineering applications owing to its extraordinary catalytic properties. However …

It is known that mechanical and tribological properties of transition metal carbide films can
be tailored by adding an amorphous carbon (aC) phase, thus making them nanocomposites …

The microstructure, electronic structure and chemical bonding of chromium carbide thin films
with different carbon contents have been investigated with high-resolution transmission …

Myo-inositol hexaphosphate, also called phytic acid or phytate (IP6), is a natural molecule
abundant in vegetable seeds and legumes. Among other functions, IP6 inhibits bone …
